i'm not sure why it wouldn't be a good combo, care to elaborate on why it is so bad?
Heard good things about both the board and bindings Good + Good = Good correct? lol at least thats my thought, but i haven't ridden either

Good choice, I'm riding one of the limited edition Sub Pops that came out in Januaryish. I love it, you'll love it. SO crazy easy to press and butter but rides surprisingly solid on the rest of the mountain. I have a pretty extensive review on it in the equipment review section.

I'm curious though since it seems you have the real next year version, have you noticed whether the inserts are centered on the the board. Mine are set FORWARD about 3/4 of an inch. So the nose on mine is actually smaller than the tail. If yours is not like this I'm going to warranty mine.
